THREE THINGS

This was me most of last week, not a care in the world. Just Chillin' like a villain. Unfortunately, it's back to the grind today. Next Monday I'll have a full recap of our family shenanigans and maybe a sneak peak this Friday.
 Instead, I thought I'd do a little internal survey called "3 Things" that 
I saw sweet Sarah from Meet The Shaneyfelt's do. 
Darling Emily from A Little Bit of Emily also did it.
Copy and paste the prompts and do your own. Super fun!

Three things I'd never give up
Sweets
The Sun

Country Music

Three favorite vegetables
Green Beans
Sweet Potatoes
Zucchini


Three shows I watched faithfully from beginning to end

Parenthood
Breaking Bad
All My Children (from the time I was 3, with my mom then, I watched it every.single.day 
(taped it) for 37 years til it went off the air on September 23, 2011. I still miss Erica Kane)

Three places I want to visit inside the US
San Fransisco/Napa Valley
The New England coast
Anywhere my blog peeps are; you know who you are! 

Three places I want to visit outside the US
Paris
Greece

Again, Anywhere my blog peeps are; you know who you are! 

Three things I always have with me
Sweet Mint Orbit Gum
Lipgloss
My FitBit

Three things that are always in my car
Sunglasses

Umbrella
A towel (for drying off my car when I go through the carwash...the dryers never get it dry 
enough.)   #nostreaksplease

Three most recent calls were from / to
My mom
My husband
A son

Three most often used makeup products

Mascara
Lipgloss
More of a tool: My eyelash curler with the mascara 

Three things that make me laugh
My BFF, Tami
My husband

Any skit by Jimmy Fallon and his BFF, Justin Timberlake

Three things that make me cry
Stories of people's parents getting older

When my boys go back to college
Almost ALL movies make me cry at some point, even action ones, lol.


Three of my greatest blessings
A favorite vacation pic from last week

And I'll BE BACK tomorrow for a GREAT TASTY TUESDAY recipe!!

  4. I am SO glad to hear it isn't just me that is left crying during movies. I am usually left telling Russ to shut up because he is poking at me and then that makes me laugh that I get so emotional. This was such a fun post!

  22. WELCOME BACK!!!! I missed you! I LOVE this (and yes, I will be totally stealing it SOON!! I'd never give up sweets, the sun or country music either. You definitely need to visit San Fran/Napa then we could meet. ;) (I actually think we may be driving up to Napa today...we have company in town) If I could only have one makeup product it would definitely be mascara!!! Have a great week beautiful friend!!!

  41. So glad you had a fabulous week! We are having a monsoon here today so that would not be conducive to sitting in a floaty in the lake...ha! Love the pictures of your boys. Not only are they good lookin', they are sweet and love their mama! Just think, someday you will have daughters-in-law and some grands. Time flies, darlin', enjoy every second. Do you use Crew car wash? The blowers don't always take care of all the water. So happy to see your smiling face! xoxo

  50. This is a fabulous post, but confession time, I totally misread the towel in the car thing. I read it as you needed to dry your hair because the dryers never do a good enough job. Actually had to read it three times before I read it correctly, made me laugh though. Note to self, drink tea before reading blogs #coolmumclub xx

  51. Loved this- the New England coast is also on my list of places.
